4 Years?

Tonight, I tucked my 4 year old into bed. My 4 year old? How did my tiny baby grow so fast? It is so hard to believe that this time 4 years ago, we were holding our baby girl for the first time. G is so smart and funny. She drives her daddy crazy and she is just like him. :-) She has become such a little lady with the vocabulary to boot. Papaw has taught her what "omnipotent" and "omnipresent" means (if only you could have seen the manager in the shoe store as she told him all about both words) and daddy’s new word for this week has been "aspirations". She insists that she is an adult all because she wants "to drive a car all by herself and drink out a glass cup!" Evidently, she hates drinking from plastic cups (yes, these were her words last week). If only being an adult was so easy!

G is a wonderul and loving big sister. Well, most of the time. She and H were so sweet last night as they played Barbie's in her bedroom. They were both pretending to mommies. H has been singing "Happy Birthday to her all evening.

As we snuggled in her bed tonight, reading The Pokey Little Puppy, she told me this was the best birthday ever. We woke her up this morning singing "Happy Birthday", took cupcakes (bright pink ones) to Mrs. Amanda's, went to Sonic to enjoy her favorite Meat & Cheese only hamburger on the picnic tables they have outside, and ended her evening with tap and ballet class. She had us laughing as she pushed the button and attempted to order her own dinner at Sonic . Oh to be 4! A few months ago our preacher Lyle said that we see God in the quite moments. Even though the day was not so quiet due to her excitement, I saw HIM in the joy of my child today and had to share it with our family and friends. Happy Birthday my Goosey G Girl!

So now my blog is started , hopefully I can keep up with it. Time flies so fast and we are so busy. We always seem to forget to send out pictures, send emails to tell our family and friends that we are thinking about them, and yes, to do the laundry. Yes, time flies when you are having fun. I choose the scripture "Be still and know that I am God" because it so true. Sometimes you just have to be still to see and hear HIM...
